I think you are making a bunch of questionable assumptions here. 1) How do you know Frist didn't have the votes for the nuclear option? 2) How do you know that Frist, if he didn't have the votes, had the "centrists" do his dirty work? It sure seems, by the reaction of his theocrat allies that the compromise was truly Satan's work. And I don't think they're feigning outrage either. This was a total power grab and they lost. 3) How do you know that Brown and Owen will even win an up-or-down vote (Lindsay Graham suggested on MSNBC that at least one will probably not win an up-or-down vote on the floor)? Consider this before writing the whole deal off as a big loss for progressives.
